Every driver will have slightly different set-up preferences to their team mate, some minor and some major, downforce is just one of them.

Not for a couple of races to see it was to his taste but for pretty much every race in the season.
Surely they could have tried him out with Verstappens set up for a few races..rather than watch him under perform race after race after race.
